Spontaneous Humour as an Indicator of Paradox and Ambiguity in Organizations
通过案例研究，展示如何将幽默分析与悖论和模糊性研究结合，以揭示组织日常经验中的控制悖论及问题与解决方案思维的模糊性。
Assuming that humour is built on a foundation of recognized contradiction, incongruity and incoherence, then it seems plausible that humour points to dis course capable of revealing the nature and substance of paradox and ambiguity- a topic of increasing interest to students of organization. This paper presents the method and results of a case study illustrating the interpretive possibilities of combining humour analysis with the study of paradox and ambiguity as a means to address everyday experience in organizations. Results are interpreted as indicating a paradox of control and the ambiguity of problem and solution thinking.
